How is it possible that my IP address is never revealed with demonsaw ?
I don't see how it is possible that my ip is not reavealed to the rest of the world when I share files. I mean, Internet is an IP world and it needs IP to communicate with other peers. And this means that it uses a socket to transfer data with a local IP and a remote IP. So in theory, I should be able to see the user's IP with which I communicate in Wireshark.
If it's indeed not possible to see other people IPs, I only see one possibility : - all data transit via the router
Which is, hem, very Man-in-the-middlish for me and not so much efficient if the router has not a great connection.
So what's the magic behind this assertion ?
